Minimal footprint (typically around 150MB) - each appliance is
carefully built from the ground up with the minimum components needed to serve its role with maximum efficiency and security.

Packaged as an installable Live CD (I.e., bootable ISO) that can run on real hardware in addition to most types of virtual machines.

Secretly we're hoping enough people will find this interesting so that we can build out a specialized extension of the Ubuntu community (focused on appliances), in much the same way the Ubuntu community has become a specialized extension of Debian, which is why I am writing to you guys.

We are interested in receiving feedback on our project and to get your ideas on ways in which we could collaborate with the Ubuntu community to spread the word, get people involved, and basically jumpstart a real community effort.

Note that we just recently launched and there is still a ton of work to do, but we're hoping if everybody who's interested gets involved and pitches in we can make fast progress.

I'm hoping you'll check it out!

Cheers,
Liraz
